Statistical reports — the jurisdiction annual return computed from live data, with Excel/XML export

Last updated: July 30, 2026 by Steve

Statistical Reports

Statistical reports produce the formal annual (or quarterly) return your jurisdiction requires — computed straight from your live request, privacy, and complaint data rather than assembled by hand. They sit under the same Reports button as the other fixed reports; in fact, the toolbar's Reports button is described in the app as covering statistical reports and maintenance tools, underlining how central this is to what Reports is for.

What This Report Shows

  • Jurisdiction-ready templates. Jurisdiction configuration packs ship ready-made statutory annual/quarterly report templates wherever the statute mandates one — including the Canadian federal ATIA/Privacy Act returns, Ontario, Québec, B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland annual reports, US FOIA, Washington JLARC, UK FOI, Scotland (quarterly), Ireland, Australia (federal and state), New Zealand, and Switzerland.
  • Computed from live data. Every figure on a statistical return is populated from the same requests, exemptions, extensions, consultations, and complaint records the rest of Reports draws on — nothing is retyped from a spreadsheet.
  • Custom templates. Where a jurisdiction pack doesn't cover a return you need, you can define additional statistical report templates yourself under Settings' Reporting configuration.

Using This Report

  • Open a statistical report from the Reports menu like any other fixed report.
  • Click Export to Excel or XML to produce the file your regulator or oversight body expects for filing.
  • Because these are the templates your jurisdiction pack installed (or that an administrator defined), check with your administrator if a return you expect isn't listed — it's a configuration step, not a missing feature.
  • Reports — the menu statistical reports are launched from, and how jurisdiction configuration packs fit in.
  • Custom Reports & Report Studio — build an ad hoc report when a statutory template doesn't cover your question.
